From what I can tell, people aren't really in the mood for buying things they don't strongly need or badly want at the moment, eg. posters of cars.
I've had a live chat thing running on my website this week and it allows me to monitor and watch people come to my site and see what pages they go to, when they come back, etc. As expected, people outside of Australia hit my international car brand pages while people within Australia tend to checkout my Ford, Holden and Chrysler pages more.
As an experiment, on Thursday I put up a big "HURRY! CRAZY RANDOM 3-HOUR HALF PRICE SALE NOW ON!" notice on every page and adjusted my prices accordingly, and watched people continue to come and go as usual, spending a few minutes browsing the pages and then leaving. I understand they not have been ready to buy right then just coz I had a sale on, but I expected at least one sale to result from the 10 to 15 visitors I had each hour.
Not one sale happened, so it got me thinking and I made some user interface improvements to the site. See if it makes a difference (only one sale since).
